The offers with respect to the Maximum Tender Offer Notes are subject to the Aggregate Maximum Repurchase Amount. FIS will allocate the Aggregate Maximum Repurchase Amount to purchase Maximum Tender Offer Notes subject to the Acceptance Priority Level as more fully set forth in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below).
Per $1,000 principal amount.
The Total Consideration for Maximum Tender Offer Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date (as defined below) and accepted for purchase is calculated using the applicable Fixed Spread (as defined below) and is inclusive of the Early Tender Payment.
The Any and All Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 2, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated (the "Any and All Expiration Date"). Holders of the Any and All Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Any and All Notes prior to or at the Any and All Expiration Date to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below) for such Any and All Notes.

Holders of the Maximum Tender Offer Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Maximum Tender Offer Notes prior to or at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 5, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated (the "Early Tender Date"), to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration for such Maximum Tender Offer Notes, which is inclusive of an amount in cash equal to the applicable amount set forth in the second table above under the heading "Early Tender Payment" (the "Early Tender Payment"). Holders of the Maximum Tender Offer Notes who validly tender their Maximum Tender Offer Notes after the Early Tender Date but prior to or at the Maximum Tender Expiration Date will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration for such Maximum Tender Offer Notes minus the Early Tender Payment.
All Maximum Tender Offer Notes tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date will be accepted based on the acceptance priority levels noted in the second table above and will have priority over Maximum Tender Offer Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date, regardless of the acceptance priority levels of the Maximum Tender Offer Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date. Subject to applicable law, FIS may increase or decrease the amounts of cash available for purchase of any of the Maximum Tender Offer Notes in its sole discretion.
The applicable consideration (the "Total Consideration") payable for each $1,000 principal amount of each series of Securities validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offers will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread for such Security (the "Fixed Spread") specified in the table above plus the applicable yield to par call date based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the applicable table above, calculated as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 2, 2019, in the case of the Any and All Tender Offer, and at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on December 6, 2019, in the case of the Maximum Tender Offer, in each case unless extended or earlier terminated. In addition to the Total Consideration, FIS will also pay accrued and unpaid interest on Securities purchased up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. The settlement date for the Any and All Tender Offer is expected to be promptly after the Any and All Expiration Date and is expected to be December 3, 2019. The settlement date for the Maximum Tender Offer Notes validly tendered and accepted for payment on the Early Tender Date is expected to be promptly after the Early Tender Date and is expected to be December 9, 2019. The settlement date for the Maximum Tender Offer Notes validly tendered and accepted for payment after the Early Tender Date is expected to be promptly after the Maximum Tender Expiration Date and is expected to be December 20, 2019.
Any and All Notes tendered pursuant to the Any and All Tender Offer may be withdrawn prior to or at, but not after, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 2, 2019, and Maximum Tender Offer Notes tendered pursuant to the Maximum Tender Offer may be withdrawn prior to or at, but not after, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 5, 2019 (such dates and times, as they may be extended with respect to the Any and All Notes or a series of Maximum Tender Offer Notes, the applicable "Withdrawal Deadline").
After the applicable Withdrawal Deadline, you may not withdraw your tendered Securities unless FIS amends the applicable Tender Offer in a manner that is materially adverse to the tendering holders, in which case withdrawal rights may be extended as FIS determines, to the extent required by law (as determined by FIS), appropriate to allow tendering holders a reasonable opportunity to respond to such amendment. Additionally, FIS, in its sole discretion, may extend a Withdrawal Deadline for any purpose. If a custodian bank, broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your Securities, such nominee may have an earlier deadline or deadlines for receiving instructions to withdraw tendered Securities.
The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated November 21, 2019 (the "Offer to Purchase"), which sets forth a more detailed description of the Tender Offers. Holders of the Securities are urged to read carefully the Offer to Purchase before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offers.
FIS' obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Securities validly tendered in the Tender Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including a financing condition. The Tender Offers may be terminated or withdrawn in whole or terminated or withdrawn with respect to any series of the Securities, subject to applicable law. FIS reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to (i) waive any and all conditions to any of the Tender Offers, (ii) extend or terminate any of the Tender Offers, (iii) increase or decrease the Aggregate Maximum Repurchase Amount, or (iv) otherwise amend any of the Tender Offers in any respect.

Angelo Dundee, Miami Boxing's Legendary Trainer, Dead at 90
Tim Elfrink | February 2, 2012 | 9:55am
It's easy to forget now, but Miami Beach was once the nexus of the world boxing scene thanks mostly to Angelo Dundee, the Hall of Fame trainer who opened the legendary 5th Street Gym with his brother Chris. Dundee trained dozens of elite fighters at the SoBe gym — most notably Muhammad Ali. Dundee died late last night at the age of 90.
"Angelo Dundee is one of the best in the world," Ali says in one interview while he was still fighting. "A real trainer, when he gets a great fighter he doesn't have to train him, he just has to coach him on what to do based on who he's fighting."
Dundee developed a blood clot after flying to Louisville to visit Ali for the fighter's 70th birthday, his son James tells the L.A. Times. He died last night in a Tampa-area rehabilitation center where he was trying to recover from the condition.
The Dundee brothers brought boxing to Miami in the early '50s, when Angelo opened the 5th Street Gym and Chris focused on promoting fights at the Miami Beach Auditorium.

After Braving World's Biggest Clusterf%&k, New Times Wins Audience With Muhammad Ali
Dundee worked with a staggering list of great boxers in the ring tucked above a drug store at 5th and Washington, from Carmen Basilio to Ali to Sugar Ray Leonard.
Jump to the three-minute mark in this video to see Ali chatting about his trainer's influence on his career:
The brothers sold the gym in the '80s and it was torn down in 1993;
Chris Dundee died in 1998
But Angelo had recently re-emerged in Miami, owning a share of a new incarnation of the 5th Street Gym, which re-opened in 2010 with an accompanying book from trainer Freddy Pacheco about Dundee's years running the place.
In one of Dundee's last interviews, posted to You Tube this past October, the trainer says a lifetime in boxing was a blessing.
"I had a lot of fun," he says. "I was a very fortunate human being that worked in something he loved. So I always had a great time, whatever day it was, whatever person I met, whatever fighter I trained ... I always had fun."
Here's that interview in full:
While you're likely to hear a lot today about how Miami's boxing scene is vastly deteriorated from Dundee's days at the 5th Street Gym,
there's a whole new generation of largely Cuban stars who grew up watching Dundee's fighters now making a name for Miami
in the ring.
RIP Angelo.

Based on true events, SHOK is set during the escalation of the Kosovan War when the country was occupied by Serbia. Two young Kosovan boys, Petrit and Oki, are the best of friends. After Oki buys a bike, Petrit is desperate to have one of his own. Ever the businessman Petrit finds a niche dealing cigarette papers to the occupying Serbian troops. However with tensions and violence escalating in the country, many would see this as traitorous. Building a steady network of contacts, Petrit drags Oki into ever more dangerous situations until their lives are put at risk. As their relationship is tested to the limits they begin to encounter the true intentions of the Serbians and learn the meaning of friendship.
I loved this movie; I don't know much about the Kosovo War, but Shok made me want to know more. The Oscar nom was well deserved.

Faith Schools – Are they providing a clear picture?
Jennifer's school photo 1978
From the 1970s (when I was at school) to year 2020 many conversations at school reunions constantly feedback the same message "our school let us down", and Faith school students also say the same thing.
At school I obtained Pass certificates in Religious Studies and Social Ethics which I enjoyed. However in the long run those studies were not relevant when applying for jobs unless I wanted to go to Bible college, which I did not want to do at the time. Also, there were theatre studies and sports activities which I was encouraged to partake in because it was part of my school's syllabus. However, When I attended drama classes, netball tournaments and tennis tournaments, my head of year would only exclaim that outside activities were a "distraction" to me which was affecting my other exams; especially Mathematics (so that I could get a job in a bank). That is why I salvaged a BA Hon degree and other Higher Education qualifications later on in life – it would have been ideal to have gained a scholarship when I left school. Campaign groups like "No More Faith School .org uk" are asking for public funding towards religious groups in order for them to evangelize to children who are disillusioned when they leave school having completed their time as Lower 6 or Upper 6 students.
And it seems according to reports that Faith schools are having a "negative impact on social cohesion, foster segregation of children on social, ethnic and religious lines, and undermine choice and equality" (No-more-faithschools.org). In other words, the report is saying if you attended a faith school it does not look good on your CV to the "outside world". The anti report goes on to say that, "children living in England deserve the best – the law expects schools to demonstrate that they are encouraging pupils to take a respectful and tolerant stance towards those who hold values different from their own. Ofsted acts robustly and impartially to ensure all children in England receive a good education."
Following on from ongoing claims of sexual exploitation within schools – leaders "have not ensured that safeguarding procedures have been sufficiently robust to keep pupils safe at all times," inspectors found. Also, school's leaders have not ensured that all staff employed at the school has routinely undergone the necessary vetting checks, which compromises pupils' welfare." (Secularism.org.uk 2019).
The charity Child Net insists that the importance of Faith Schools lies in it being able to opt-out of teaching subjects contrary to their religious beliefs, such as information on homosexuality and contraception. The compulsory parts of sex and relationship education from Year 7 (primary school) teach children about reproduction, sexuality and sexual health – including decisions around abortion.
Campaigners insist that pupils from faith schools fail to develop their own beliefs independently. I have no qualms with that. My argument is to support their pupils with after care, especially those who like religious studies, social ethics, theatre, and… Physical- Sciences or in my era it was called P.E. (physical education).
Today, senior leaders preclude the teaching of certain protected characteristics of students leaving school could be defined in the Equality Act. According to the Equality Act 2010, protected characteristics are aspects of a person's identity that make them who they are. It's worth noting, while this legislation doesn't offer protection for revealing protected characteristic e.g. religious beliefs. Moreover, it's unlawful to treat an employee or apprentice differently if they reveal they attended a Faith school – alas, it still happens.

Several articles of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) focus on the rights of data subjects, including data portability, access, erasure and rectification. In the two weeks since the GDPR went into effect, it's likely many companies have been flooded with data subject requests.
Processing data subject requests takes time, energy and money, especially when done manually. Handling data subject requests require organizations to verify the data subject's identity, find their data across many systems, take action on that data when necessary and communicate securely with the data subject.
But processing DSAR requests doesn't have to be a time-consuming and onerous process. We purpose-built the OneTrust DSAR portal to help companies automate this process from request to reporting. In the two weeks since GDPR went into effect, we've helped customers process 10,000+ subject requests.
Automatic, customizable and pre-configured processes within OneTrust to process the DSAR request. These customized workflows can automatically create sub-tasks to business and IT owners, request the submission of necessary information on data requests and can control the access, editing and advancement of the request.
Integrations with the OneTrust Data Mapping tool, links with internal IT service management tools and an automation API to find the subject's data automatically.
Secure, encrypted communication with the data subject through the OneTrust portal.
Metrics and reporting to view requests received, average turnaround time and cost metrics.
To learn more, read our press release and attend our webinar to see how to automate data subject rights requests with OneTrust.


Perhaps you've heard the almost mythical story, how the brash, young French vigneron visited the little-known, redundantly named Washington town and fell in preposterous love with a few acres of useless, stone-covered farmland. While the nay-sayers nayed, Christophe Baron deftly turned that field of stones into the acclaimed Cayuse Vineyards. And the rest, as they say, is history—and a whole lot of spectacular wine.

Patient Profile: Martha Bishop

Martha Bishop's cancer journey started with a mole. Something about it made her nervous, and she wanted a health professional's expertise.
Initially, her dermatologist didn't bat an eye. "It's no big deal," he told Martha, but she asked him to remove it anyway … just in case.
Two days later, her dermatologist called with the biopsy results: "It's melanoma," he reported.
Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, is the nation's fifth-most common type of cancer. Although anyone can get it, people with fair skin and light hair are at a higher risk for melanoma. It's also most likely to strike older people, especially those between the ages of 65 and 74.
Although she has a fair complexion and reddish hair, Martha didn't otherwise fit that profile.
"I was diagnosed in 2009, right before I turned 30," Martha recalls.
Martha was one of 1,199 Arizonans to be diagnosed with melanoma that year. Of those individuals, only 26 were between the ages of 25 and 29, making her diagnosis especially shocking. Life changed for Martha and her young family, a husband and two children in preschool.
"I was a stay-at-home mom," Martha says. "My kids were 3 and 5. My goal was to survive to see them through kindergarten."
She became a patient at the University of Arizona Cancer Center. "I went through a bunch of different drugs," Martha recalls. "I did traditional chemo, I did a targeted therapy, I did two immunotherapies."

After weathering the unpleasant side effects of other treatments early in her cancer journey, Martha was introduced to the world of immunotherapy via ipilimumab, a checkpoint inhibitor that goes by the brand name Yervoy.
"It was a breeze compared to what I'd done before," says Martha. "I think that's what people need to know about immunotherapy — it's so much easier on your body than traditional chemo."
Although ipilimumab's side effects were tolerable, Martha's tumors didn't respond to the drug as well as her doctors hoped. But an opportunity to enroll in a clinical trial for a promising new treatment infused her with optimism.
"I got on a clinical trial for what's now Keytruda," she says, referring to pembrolizumab, another type of immune checkpoint inhibitor. "There was a lot of buzz about Keytruda."
Her enrollment into the trial had a rocky start.
"When I was having my pre-trial scans, they found brain tumors," Martha recalls. "That was super scary."
After stereotactic radiosurgery to treat her brain tumors, Martha was able to enroll in the clinical trial and begin treatment with Keytruda. "I can't even tell you how excited we were," she says.
At first, however, Martha's tumors didn't seem to be responding fast enough: "My husband and I went on vacation thinking, 'This is our last trip together,'" she recalls.
Luckily, while Martha's response to Keytruda was a little slower than normal, her tumors did eventually start to shrink. The turning point was when she underwent surgery to reduce her tumor load, after which Keytruda was able to finish the job.
"Since that surgery, it has been miraculous. It took a full two years for me to have no evidence of disease," she reports. "But it was really clear that I'd made good progress."
Similar to her experience with her first immunotherapy drug, Martha's side effects while on Keytruda were mild.
"I had a little fatigue, but that was really only the first six months," she recalls. And that fatigue wasn't enough to stop her from living her life.
"I went back to teaching. I taught second grade. I'm teaching kindergarten now. I trained for and ran a 5K," Martha says. "Obviously, I have to have lots and lots of energy!"
Martha has high praise for the care she received at the UA Cancer Center. She describes engaged, compassionate physicians who not only brought their expertise to the table, but also added a human touch, such as holding her hand through surgical procedures.
"It's been amazing," she says. "They've become family."
Martha also received support from fellow patients, who acted as informal educators and mentors. She calls Bonnie Emerson, founder of her melanoma patient support group, her "melanoma mama," whose guidance at the beginning of her cancer journey endowed her with strength and hope.
Martha's original goal, to see her children graduate from kindergarten, was met years ago, and she's been adjusting her goals since. Her kids are now 11 and 13, and she is hopeful for the future.
"I want to see my grandbabies!" Martha exclaims, adding with a laugh that, with such young children, she doesn't expect to welcome grandchildren into her family for many more years.
For now, she is building a life that she scarcely imagined after first receiving her diagnosis — one that includes "things I never thought I'd get the chance to experience: living life and being back in the classroom, having a career in front of me, thinking about paying for retirement," Martha says.
Martha adds one more item to her list of unexpected milestones: "Buying eye wrinkle cream," she says, laughing. "I worked really hard to get those wrinkles, but I don't really want 'em!"

Merelith, the 'Noble Rose', was found sitting in one of the better parlors in the Delver headquarters. Her crimson cloak was casually draped over one shoulder and cover nearly half of her body as she languidly relaxed on the overstuffed chair. Instead of covering her, the draping of the cloak made the view all the more enticing as it teased a view of the twisted cloth that seemed to barely cover her. Her fiery gold hair hung over one side of the chair, not quite reaching the floor in waves as she almost lazily read over a half-rolled scroll in her hands.
As he strode up to the table the large monk spoke to the mind of the woman with the aid of his tiny psicrystal Nimbus. "Your intelligence was flawed. There were no children involved with that merchant's deal. We slew the ogres and put the merchant to the question. If there had been children involved he would have talked, of this, I am certain." He took a seat across from the woman and looked at her with suspicion. What have I let her pull me into here? He asked himself.

She raises a naturally sculpted eyebrow, watching Will quietly even as he struggles not to lose himself in here eyes. A small, but stunning, twitch of her lip pulls one side down into a frown as she gracefully swings her legs down to sit normally, never leaving eye contact.
"My intelligence," she says in a near-musical voice, "was from the contractor who also claimed to be an eye witness to this." she runs a delicate finger along her jawline, "Why would someone accuse another of child trafficking with out cause if it weren't true? Perhaps you should look into her."
She leans back, languidly relaxing again, "If he was dealing with ogres in back alleys, it seems he was doing something. While onerous, there is nothing illegal is dealing with their kind normally. Report all of this to the review board and have them give you further instructions."
Her voice is one of authority on the last sentence, reminding you of her 'Grand Master' level of authority in the Guild.
The large man looked the woman up and down, he had to admit that she was quite attractive. Yet his heart belonged to a woman that probably didn't even know he existed, much less that he was lost, head over heels in love with her. At least he did get to see her whenever he visited the Order of the Fist to train with some of his brothers. Most days unless Wynn Rabinall was there to train with him, very few other members could keep up with Will.
Will continued to speak to the woman in private directly to her mind through his tiny psicrystal. "He was and is indeed up to no good. We found plenty of contraband in one of his warehouses. Exotic poisons, drugs, volatile liquids, the place was extensively trapped and it had false windows so the perpetrators can see out but none can see inside. He is obviously trafficking in more than your standard goods." He slipped the woman a note with the address of the warehouse written upon it.
"I would indeed like to check out the woman who gave you this information. Can you give me her name and a place of business where she might frequent?"
Merelith watches the monk carefully for a quiet minute before slipping the note into her top.
"I wouldn't recommend going off on your own to do this." she pulls a small notebook out of a belt pouch then throws a leg over the chair again. She scratches on the notepad before handing a note to Will, "Report everything to the review board and ask them to give the assignment to you. We don't take well to people trying to trick us. I will look into who took this contract without checking into it at all." she tips her head to one side, "Sound good?"
A glance at the note shows that it is a strong recommendation for the assignment to be granted to William Dayeri and Company with all information, and due all rewards for its completion. A note signed and sealed by a Grand Master, virtually guaranteeing everything needed from the Diggers to Will.

"I will leave her to you then." The large man stood then nodded politely to the lady, gave her his best smile before he turned to go give his report.
Will gave the full report on everything except the part about torture and regrowing of limbs. He still shuddered at the thought of what had taken place, but there was no changing that now. He ended his report with the note and the request that he be given the job. "Also if I can get the payment for the initial job... I do have expenses that I need to cover."

The man at the Delver's Guild nods to Will, writing as he gives his report.
"Perhaps he hid the children somewhere. The children were reported by the customer to be local children, so we can check to see if any are missing." he scratches a few more things down before continuing, "I will hand the report and the request over the the Board, though you will likely be assigned to this. It is generally best to keep the same people on the job."

Лютефіск (, , дослівно риба лугом) — традиційна скандинавська рибна страва, що зазвичай готується з тріски і популярна в Норвегії, Швеції та деяких районах Фінляндії.

Для приготування сушену рибу замочують у лужному розчині каустичної соди або гідроксиду натрію (раніше використовували березову золу, що також має лужні властивості) на три доби, після чого вимочують кілька днів у чистій воді. Внаслідок хімічної реакції рибних білків з лугом риба набуває ніжної желеподібної консистенції і специфічного гострого запаху.

Надалі лютефіск підлягає тепловій обробці: кілька хвилин його варять у дуже солоній воді. Страву подають з гороховим пюре, беконом, відварною картоплею, як приправу пропонують гірчицю і сир з козячого молока, капусту з морквою. Деякі віддають перевагу лютефіску з картопляними млинчиками. З алкогольних напоїв до лютефіску подають норвезьку горілку Аквавіт (акевіт), пиво.

Лютефіск — традиційний зимовий, різдвяний делікатес, і зараз досить популярний у народів Скандинавії, незважаючи на свій незвичайний смак (так, тільки протягом 2001 року в Норвегії з'їли понад 2600 т цієї страви).

Історія

Перша згадка про лютефіск відноситься до 1555 року, коли шведський учений і дипломат Олаф Магнус у своїх працях докладно описав процес виробництва страви. Легенда пов'язує походження екзотичної страви з кораблем вікінгів (або з рибним складом), в який вдарила блискавка і спалила його, а риба, яка знаходилася на кораблі, змішалася з золою. Через деякий час вікінги вирішили спробувати рибу, попередньо вимочивши у воді, і були здивовані смаком страви.

Американський кулінарний критик Джеффрі Стейнгартен, автор книги «Той, що їсть все», так відгукувався про лютефіск:

 «Лютефіск — це не їжа, а зброя масового ураження. Це приклад їжі, смак якої ні на що не схожий, але при цьому викликає такі сильні емоції, що буквально відправляє людину в нокаут».

After Brussels Attack, Why Daesh is Losing the Battle and Winning the War
Justin Hienz |
Daesh has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attacks at the Brussels airport and metro. There's been rosy talk lately about how Daesh is losing, but they're not. Every terrorist attack feeds a cycle of extremism and violence, and those fighting Daesh are not doing enough to break it.
(Security) Theater of the Absurd – TSA and the Screening Partnership Program
Half of the U.S. public believes the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) makes flying safer—and half don't. There's plenty of evidence that TSA airport screeners are not effective, but worse, the agency is rigging the system to make sure it is the only option for airport security. It doesn't have to be this way.
Don't Know Much About Islam…And That's a Problem
With news of ISIS running 24/7, there has been a lot of loose talk about what Islam does and does not teach. However, much of this banter comes from people who have no idea what they're talking about. Let's sort this out.
Happy Anniversary, Coasties
On August 4, 1790, the U.S. Congress authorized then-Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton to create a maritime service to enforce customs laws. President George Washington signed this bill, creating the United States Coast Guard (USCG).
United, NYSE and WSJ Glitches Were Not a Cyber Attack
There's an old axiom in science and statistics: correlation does not imply causation. Sometimes what walks and talks like a duck isn't actually a duck. Technical glitches on Wednesday sure looked like a cyber attack…but they weren't. Here's how we know.
Confederate Flag is No Better Than Nazi and ISIS Banners
After last week's horrific terrorist attack on the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, there is widespread discussion about whether to take down the Confederate flag that flies outside the South Carolina Capitol Building. Today, terrorists have claimed the rebel banner as their own, and for that and other reasons, it should never fly again, particularly on public land.
Why is South Carolina Shooting a Hate Crime and Not Terrorism?
On Wednesday, a shooter entered the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, killing 9 people who had gathered for Bible study. The FBI has classified the attack as a "hate crime." Why has this horrific attack been immediately characterized as a hate crime and not as an act of terrorism?
Is There a Culture of Incompetence in TSA Airport Operations?
The watchdog group Judicial Watch issued a press release announcing it had obtained records from TSA detailing allegations of sexually related assaults on passengers by TSA screeners. Unfortunately, these claims are just the latest in a trend of poor TSA performance at the Nation's airports. It's time for a change at TSA.
AFDI's Mohammed Cartoons are a Threat to U.S. Security
On Sunday, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) hosted a "Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest," and two gunmen opened fire on the event. Violence is never OK, and this kind of inflammatory activity actually perpetuates the threat from violent extremism. AFDI is not blameless in their rhetoric.

Q: How do I remove the selected tab indicator from the TabWidget? Here's what I'd like to remove :

How do I replace the indicator showing which tab is currently shown as well as the blue line that spans the entire tabwidget?
To Specify: All I want indicating which tab is selected is this :

*

*tab_button_active.9.png should be shown as background if the tab is SELECTED

*tab_button_inactive.9.png should be shown as the background if the tab is NOT SELECTED.

edit : Setting tabStripEnabled to false has no effect. Adding a style to it and having "@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar" as its parent is also not possible since im targetting API level 7 and the ActionBar was implemented in API level 11.

A: Add this to your TabLayout XML:
app:tabIndicator="@null"

A: there is one line answer to that
you have only to change the color of the indicator into a transparent
color.xml
 <color name="transparent2">#00000000</color>

and put this line to your tabwidget
tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.transparent2));

or
app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/transparent2"

A: Try setting the Tab indicator height to zero:
tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorHeight(0);

A: This line app:tabIndicatorHeight="0dp" solve the problem for me in xml
 <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/view_bottom_tabLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:tabIndicatorHeight="0dp"             //this line
        app:tabGravity="fill"
        app:tabMode="fixed" />

A: I have yet another hack.
    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorHeight(0);

It's basically the same idea as Eleojasmil's.

A: Use tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicator(0).
tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorHeight(0) is now deprecated and tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorColor(Color.TRANSPARENT) won't perform as well because it uses transparency.

A: Use
    tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicator(null);

This will set the selected indicator drawable to null.

A: Use this app:tabIndicator="@null"
<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
    android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:tabGravity="fill"
    app:tabIndicator="@null"
    app:tabMode="fixed" />

A: Set  attribute  android:tabStripEnabled="false" for your TabWidget.

A: I looked for a long time to remove the ugly holo menu bar
tried everything. accidentally used this code for another reason and it thank god removed it.
    for (int i = 0; i < tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildCount(); i++) {
        tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FF0000")); // unselected
        TextView tv = (TextView)tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).findViewById(android.R.id.title); //Unselected Tabs
        tv.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
    }

Source: Android tabhost change text color style

A: You can simply use this method on your tablayout to hide the tab indicator.
tabLayout.setSelectedTabIndicatorColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

A: If android:tabStripEnabled="false" did not work then I also assume calling setStripEnabled(boolean stripEnabled) will have no effect as well. If all of this is true then your problem is probably not in TabWidget.
I would suggest looking at your tab indicator. Try these modifications. This code is taken from a fragment that has tabs.
Here is the code that creates the tab indicator view.
    View indicator = LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()).inflate(R.layout.tab,
(ViewGroup) mRoot.findViewById(android.R.id.tabs), false);

        TabSpec tabSpec = mTabHost.newTabSpec(tag);
        tabSpec.setIndicator(indicator);
        tabSpec.setContent(tabContentId);

Your tab indicator view would probably like similar to this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:background="@drawable/tabselector"
    android:padding="5dp" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/icon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/tab1icon"/>

</LinearLayout>

Now the important part here is the android:background="@drawable/tabselector" in the LinearLayout. Mine looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!-- Non focused states -->
    <item
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_selected="false"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/tab_unselected_light" />
    <item
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_selected="true"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/tab_selected_light" />
    <!-- Focused states -->
    <item
        android:state_focused="true"
        android:state_selected="true"
        android:state_pressed="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/tab_focused_light" />
    <!-- Pressed state -->
    <item
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/tab_pressed_light" />
</selector>

This tabselector.xml is where you will swap @drawable/tab_pressed_light with your @drawable/tab_button_active and @drawable/tab_unselected_light with @drawable/tab_button_inactive
Be sure to check that all of your drawables that go into your tabselector.xml do not have the blue strips along the bottom. As I look at your image I can see little 5px gaps along that strip this is what gave me the idea that the strip was not from your TabWidget. Hope this helps.

A: For TabLayout:
Just Use app:tabIndicatorColor="@android:color/transparent"
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/profile_album_tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"
        app:tabBackground="@drawable/tab_background"
        app:tabIndicatorColor="@android:color/transparent"
        app:tabPadding="@dimen/common_margin" />

A: here what I use, since the tabIndicator.setSelectedTabIndicatorHeight(0); is depcrecated
use  tabIndicator.setSelectedTabIndicator(0);

A: For the best setting app:tabIndicatorHeight="0dp" worked for me.

A: tabHost.getTabWidget().setStripEnabled(false);
tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(1).setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.tabcolor));
tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(2).setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.tabcolor));

A: I assume you are using ActionBarSherlock. The problem with using a TabWdiget is, that it is not part of ABS, so it will look "native" for each Android Version. For me, the best approach for tab navigtion with ABS is to use a ViewPager and ViewPagerIndicator and style the indicator. Downside is, that your tabs must be fragments. If you need your tabs to be activities then you should take a look if the guys at HoloEveryhwhere have managed to add the TabWidget.

Fall Season is the perfect time to warm your food.
According to Ayurveda, eating warmed foods and adding warming elements, such as cinnamon and spices help the digestion stay strong during the winter months.
I love to make a quick and easy, any time meal with fresh delicious in-season apples. Because I live California, I can actually grow apples and that warms my heart as they are on the "must be organic" list for me and my family.
I am a big believer in the law of least effort, especially when in the kitchen, so stewed and spicy apples are the perfect meal for this season!
If possible, try to use all organic ingredients.
I like to core and cut a couple of apples and place them in a cast iron skillet skin side down. Then I add 4 pitted prunes, or more if you like, and maybe a couple of figs (again according to your personal preference). Add a stick of cinnamon, 4 green cardamon pods, and 6 whole cloves. Add a cup of water and some dried fruit to the apples and cook until the apples are soft, takes approximately 17 minutes.
Enjoy this simple & delicious dish anytime!


Entries in the manufacturing protocols were made only days after the relevant activities had been conducted. Further, batches were released before all results were available.
In particular the use of "rough notes" was criticised as these original data were completely destroyed after transfer in the batch records.
Specifically HPLC, GC, and Karl Fischer Titrators were concerned. For instance, for the GC instrument multiple copies of raw data were found in the waste. And there was no password regulation for the data systems of HPLC and GC equipment, and there were no audit trail functions either.
3. There were no training protocols for the cGMP training of employees.
Altogether there were great concerns about the authenticity and reliability of the data produced in this company. Thus the FDA requested a comprehensive CAPA plan within 15 working days upon receipt of the Warning Letter.
For detailed information please see the full Mahendra Chemicals Warning Letter.
Following the inspection, conducted by the inspectorate Italian, under the program of inspections of the EDQM, at the Indian site in question, the same was not "in compliance" with the GMP.
It calls on companies to verify, with urgency, if the medicines containing the following active substances / intermediate production Dicloxacillin SODIUM, amoxicillin trihydrate, PIVAMPICILLIN, Flucloxacillin SODIUM, SODIUM cloxacillin, AMPICILLIN trihydrate, AMPICILLIN ANHYDROUS, Bacampicillin HYDROCHLORIDE authorized for the Italian market and / or products for export, showing this as a possible supplier of active / intermediate Officina Farmaceutica: PARABOLIC DRUGS LIMITED, PDL-2 – Plot No. 45, Industrial Area, Phase II, Panchkula District of Haryana, 134113 , INDIA .
The communication must be sent only by all companies Holders of marketing authorizations or Officine pharmaceutical manufacturers of medicines containing these materials pharmacologically active / production intermediates produced at the Indian site in question.
Each involved NCA should evaluate, following assessment conducted in conjunction with MAHs, if a recall of medicinal product is needed. Evaluation should take into account if there are alternative suppliers and potential risk of shortage. Given the nature of non-compliances, assessment should include a complete retest of all imported batches of active substance.
Due to the nature of non compliances, prohibition of supply is recommended.
Withdrawal of all CEPs is ongoing.
The US FDA has warned Mylan about manufacturing concerns at three of its plants in India.
In a warning letter to the generic drug manufacturer, the FDA said it had found 'significant violations of current good manufacturing practice' during inspections at the plants in August and September last year and in February this year.
The inspections relate to Mylan's Agila Specialty Formulation Facility (SFF), Sterile Product Division (SPD), and Onco Therapies Limited (OTL) sites in Bangalore.
Recently the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began ramping up inspections of offshore manufacturing facilities and the results are shocking. Although cGMP violations have been found worldwide, experts are particularly worried about drugs made in China and India.
Earlier this month the FDA cited three facilities in Bangalore, India that manufacture drugs for Mylan. Headquartered in the U.K., Mylan is the second largest generic and specialty pharmaceutical company in the world. With approximately 30,000 employees worldwide and revenues of $7.72 billion (USD), Mylan certainly qualifies as big pharma.
The FDA says it inspected three of Mylan's Indian plants between August of 2014 and February of this year. It found "significant" cGMP violations at all three facilities.
cGMP standards are in place throughout the manufacturing process to insure the potency and quality of the finished pharmaceuticals. The FDA wants to insure that there are no contaminants in the finished product as well as insuring the finished product is neither stronger nor weaker than advertised.
As a result of the inspections, the FDA concluded a likelihood that the finished drugs from all three plants were adulterated. Those findings are certainly bad news for consumers. It's also bad for physicians as well. It's hard for doctors to get dosages correct or monitor for side effects if a drug has inconsistent potency or the presence of contaminants.
At least one of the facilities had similar violations dating back to a 2013 inspection.
The FDA declared that continued noncompliance could result in drugs from these facilities being blocked from importation and distribution within the United States.
Mylan has had previous problems with U.S. regulators. In 2000 Mylan paid a $147 million fine to settle charges that the company raised the price of generic lorazepam by 2,6000% and generic clorazepate by 3,200%. The FTC had charged that the company raised the price of lorazepam, the generic equivalent of the brand name antianxiety medication Ativan, from $7 per bottle to $190. Although Mylan agreed to the payment of the fine, it denied any wrongdoing.
Only the FDA can punish drug companies for cGMP violations but if there is proof of an adulterated product entering the commerce stream, the federal False Claims Act can come into play. That law allows private individuals to file a lawsuit against a wrongdoer and receive a percentage of whatever is recovered by the government. Last year the Justice Department paid $635 million in whistleblower awards under the False Claims Act.
Whistleblowers in cGMP cases have received tens of millions of dollars. Dinesh Thakur, a former Ranbaxy executive, received $48 million for information about adulterated generic drugs.
Compared to herbal medicinal products (HMPs) there is a simplified registration procedure for traditional herbal medicinal products (THMP).
EMA's HMPC (Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products) published the draft of revision 2 on the use of the CTD format in the preparation of a registration application for traditional herbal medicinal products on 10 March 2015.
This guideline contains instructions on how to prepare a CTD for a registration application of traditional herbal medicinal products.
Now, there is a new annex 2 with a mock-up which shows by means of a concrete example where and to what extent information should be given on traditional herbal medicinal products in the dossier.
Appendix 1 is a best practice guide for module 3 on quality.
For further information please see the complete draft revision 2 of the "Guideline on the use of the CTD format in the preparation of a registration application for traditional herbal medicinal products" comprising more than 151 pages together with all annexes (!).
The EudraGMP database was originally launched in April 2007 and is used to exchange information on compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) between the relevant regulatory authorities of the EU Member States – including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Since January 2011 the data of all national authorities can be accessed. Further, since April 2013 the database also contains information about GDP, why it is referred to as Eudra GMDP database now.
The database comprising the reports about deficiencies found in inspections by the European authorities – the "non-compliance reports" or, officially, "statement of non-compliance with GMP" – was extended by three reports last week: two of these reports related to Chinese firms, one report to a company in India. The inspections were conducted by inspectors of the Italian authority.
The inspection of the Indian site (antibiotic APIs) revealed that samples, materials and documents were stored improperly. The falsification of data and documents was found. At one of the two Chinese manufacturers who also produces an antibiotic API, inspectors were also not allowed to access an apparently uncontrolled storage area of raw material and finished products – which they estimated as high risk in terms of data falsification. In the second inspected Chinese manufacturing facility (sterile active ingredient manufacture) inspectors objected to especially high risks with regard to contamination (inadequate clothing of workers, no monitoring of the differential pressure between spaces of different purity classes, no precautions to avoid contamination during the transfer of the sterile active substance between different containers etc.).
Morinidazole was approved by China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) on February 24, 2014. It was developed and marketed as a step Lingda ® by Hansoh Pharmaceutical.
Morinidazole is a nitroimidazoles antibiotic indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections including appendicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by anaerobic bacteria.
1- (2,3-epoxypropoxy yl) -2-methyl-5-nitro-imidazole (10g), morpholino (10g), 100ml of acetonitrile under reflux for 2 hours, vacuum recovery of acetonitrile, water was added 100ml, heating to the whole solution, filtered hot, let cool, filtering, washing and drying to obtain an off-white solid (11g).

Take a stroll along the Strand, if you look up you'll notice an intriguing archway with a sealed-off entrance. Though the signage has a different name (more on that later) this is Aldwych Ghost Station.
What's a ghost station?
Essentially a disused tube station.
Aldwych closed to passengers in 1994 and though it was never a successful station, from its opening in 1907 until then it still played an important role in London's history.
Let's go inside…
As our small group enters for our tour we are greeted with the tinny sounds of Vaudeville music, a reference to the Royal Strand Theatre which stood here until 1831.
Along with the run-down theatre that was demolished, huge sections of the area's slums were being removed, making way for the Piccadilly line.
One of three lines created by the UERL (Underground Electric Railways Company of London), Holborn became the centre of the new Piccadilly line which merged two separate lines.
Known as the Great Northern, Piccadilly & Brompton Railway – catchy! – It ran between Hammersmith and Finsbury Park.
But what about Aldwych station? It was just a Southern terminus off-shoot of this line, the image below showing it's lonely position;
It opened 30 November 1907 as Strand Station, but the name changed in 1915 to Aldwych. Confusingly this was because the nearby Northern Line Station Charing Cross called itself Strand. Much later in 1979 the name was changed back to Charing Cross!
Down on the platforms you can see the painted letters of 'Strand'.
As you can probably guess from looking at the map, Aldwych didn't get much footfall, only around 450 daily passengers.
For a bit of comparison (taking into account London's larger population than 100 years ago) Victoria got an average of 234,000 daily passengers in 2015.
The station wildly overestimated its popularity, planning for three lifts. Through the grille below you can see the shaft, but no lift in its place.
And that's not the only place they cut corners.
These tiles – although today we might think them glorious – were the cheapest option. Each tube station was meant to have a unique colour and pattern of tiles, helping illiterate or foreign Londoners navigate themselves without signage.
Aldwych Finds Its Calling
I don't want you to have a false impression that Aldwych was useless. Here's a few of the useful roles it's played…
Like many stations in Central London, Aldwych was used as a bomb shelter. Its original design had two parallel tunnels but even by 1914 only one platform and tunnel was ever used. This made a perfect space for sheltering Londoners.
Julian Andrews, a child during WWII, was interviewed by the London Transport Museum during their research and described;
"Hundreds and hundreds of bodies wrapped in blankets down there."
The above photo from 1941 was actually a staged government propaganda shot, designed to show children tucked up cosily underground, blissfully unaware of their City being bombed above.
But it wasn't just people either. Given its proximity to big museums like National Gallery and British Museum, objects like the Parthenon Marbles were stored safely 33m underground!
After The War, train services began in July 1946, but there was still the extra platform and tunnel with around 76m of dead end space.
The museum store remained a quarter full right up until 1955.
And the platform walls were put to good use as a testing space for new tile designs!
Today the station is mainly used for filming.
This can be for the music industry (The Kinks, Madness & Prodigy – for Firestarter filmed videos here) but also film. Any time you see a period film with an underground location, it's likely it was filmed at Aldwych. Highlights include The Darkest Hour, Atonement and V for Vendetta.
With its atmospheric setting it's easy to see why.
There's also the allure of original features like this 1972 stock train;
Lifts dating back to the 1920s…
And advertisements from decades ago. Oddly, one is now rather relevant..
Visiting Aldwych Ghost Station
Hidden London (part of the London Transport Museum) run tours across a range of TFL property and you can't find out more here. If you've missed out on tickets, I'd advise signing up to their mailing list to be the first to hear about future tours of subterranean London shelters.
Meanwhile you can see how I got on with other Hidden London tours, including Clapham South, 55 Broadway and Down Street Ghost Station.
Hugh Terry
At one time I believe there were plans to extend the Aldwych branch under the Thames, to connect with the Elephant & Castle stations on the South Bank. This might considerably reduce traffic on adjacent bridges. Will the scheme ever be resurrected – or is it just another great British railway white elephant..?
Katie Wignall
That's true, there was a passenger system under the Thames! Doubt it'll be resurrected, I imagine the new super sewer tunnels might cause some interference!

Clear channel communications
How Long Is the Average Commercial Break? Credit: Tony Young/CC-BY-2.. According to the Los Angeles Times, commercial breaks are 15 and 30 seconds. There are more 30-second commercial spots than 15-second commercials; however, the number of 15-second commercials is increasing..
· An average hour of monitored prime-time US network TV programming in Q408 contained seven minutes, 59 seconds (7:59) of in-show brand appearances and 13:52 of network commercial messages, for a combined total of 21:51 of marketing content, according to TNS Media Intelligence. These commercial messages account for 36% of an average prime-time hour.
Commercial Finance Definition The commercial banks on their part has been replaced at tight situation in their bid to achieve what might be an optional level in banking lending. 1.2 PURPOSE / OBJECTIVE OF STUDY It is a living concept among the people today that low returns to agriculture are entirely as a result of lack of finance.
Between 2008 and 2012, the commercial-to-Medicare payment difference had an average increase of 14 percent. Longer hospital stays do not appear to be a factor for higher average commercial payments. During this period, 86 percent of the DRGs analyzed had commercial-to-Medicare average length-of-stay of ratios less than one.
Her more than 25 years of experience in commercial real estate investment. On a comparable same-space basis for the third quarter, we signed approximately 400,000 square feet of new and renewal.
Soon after that the 15-second TV commercial emerged. Now, 15 seconds seems to have become a standard duration, or length for a TV commercial. Most North American broadcasters now offer a selection to advertisers and they can choose to produce a 15, 30, or 60-second commercial.
In these categories, the best average commercial length for attention is 60 seconds. Attention is impacted by three main factors outside of length: creative, context, and wear. Creative includes the style and story of the ad; context is the show during which the ad airs; and wear is how often the ad has aired and how much ad fatigue the.
Real Dollar Calculator A commercial real estate appraisal can cost several thousands of dollars because there is so much input that is needed for a proper analysis. Everything from Autopilot hardware to a different paint job costs extra money, but, fortunately, on Wednesday, Teslanomics released a handy calculator to quickly add. but one backed up with real.
Commercial Door Dimensions: What Is the Average Size of a Commercial Door? Building codes set maximum and minimum heights and widths for commercial doors. These standard commercial door dimensions, dictated by these codes, ensure that doors allow occupants to enter and exit freely during an emergency.
· At the beginning of 2005, clear channel communications will lead the radio industry into a brave new world. For the first time ever, 30- and 15-second ads will be priced worth the money. Up until.
The average length of commercial breaks is approximately two minutes. I've timed it quite a few times because I got bored.. I get that useless piece of information wasn't so useless after all, lol

Home General Miss Belize Universe controversy takes a new turn
Miss Belize Universe controversy takes a new turn
Saturday, June 3rd, 2017
BELIZE CITY, Wed. May 31, 2017–In the wake of controversy over the abruptly terminated reign of Miss Belize Universe, Rebecca "Bexx" Rath, a press release was issued by Orson Elrington, who said that he was speaking on behalf of himself and Reynaldo Malik, who together own a 2/3 majority in Queen of the Jewel Ltd., saying that the statement which had been released the prior Friday by shareholder and pageant director, Opal Enriquez, was unauthorized by them.
Queen of the Jewel owners divided, seek resolution of stalemate
"While we own 2/3 of the company, for various reasons we have left the running of the company and its affairs to Ms. Enriquez. Moving forward that will no longer be the case," said the release.
The release added that Enriquez had resigned as pageant director on Friday, May 26, but she told us that while she did indicate to Elrington that she was resigning, she was not resigning as pageant director.
"I have not yet resigned from Queen of the Jewel or Miss Belize. I have resigned from Miss Universe for 2017 and other parties applied for directorship but none so far have been selected," Enriquez told us, adding that Elrington himself, who is director of marketing of the organization, sent her a resignation previously and then overturned it shortly after.
According to the release issued by Elrington, "Officially, Ms. Rebecca Rath is still the reigning Ms. Belize Universe 2016-2017. She retains her title and will continue to perform her duties, until her reign ends and the next Miss Belize 2017-2018 is crowned."
He added that, "It is the official position of the majority partners of Queen of the Jewel Ltd., that a Miss Belize pageant for 2017-2018 will be held."
Elrington also said that they will also be seeking to renew the Miss Universe license; however, according to Enriquez, the deadline to apply for a license for this year has already passed.
Enriquez said that, "As national director, I have made all decisions pertaining to how international contracts are handled and if a representative is to be selected (and not crowned) it has been my choice. Orson has served as marketing director and functions in getting sponsors and promotions."
After Enriquez's statement was issued on Friday, May 26, announcing that Marcia Moody, the first runner-up of the Miss Belize pageant held in 2016 would be sent to compete this October in the Miss International Pageant in Japan, and that Moody is being named Miss Belize 2017 with immediate effect, Elrington was called out via social media, by people who wanted to know whether he had anything to do with the decision.
"Queen of the Jewel Ltd. apologizes to Ms. Rebecca Rath and her family for this colossal overstep," the release issued by Elrington on Tuesday said.
It came four days after Enriquez made her announcement, circulated within the Belizean community in Belize and in Los Angeles. We asked Elrington to explain the delay in issuing the release, and he told us that he was trying to get in touch with Malik, the third shareholder, before making a move.
He told us that by the time he was able to communicate with Malik, who he admits has been inactive for some time, the Monday evening news had already aired, and Tuesday was the earliest possible point at which he could issue the release. We tried to reach Malik separately for comment but our calls went unanswered. According to Enriquez, Mr. Malik has not been an active decision maker for the past 3 years.
Elrington informed the press that Enriquez has resigned her position as pageant director and they are seeking a new director to continue the business.
According to Elrington, there is an advisory body to Queen of the Jewel, which includes agencies such as the Belize Tourism Board, the National Institute of Culture and History, the Ministry of Education, and platinum partners/sponsors of the enterprise.
The parties concur that the advisory board had no input in the latest developments, and NICH has issued a statement distancing itself from the decision, after its logo "inadvertently" appeared on Enriquez's statement.
When we asked her about the inputs of the advisory body, Enriquez said: "Yes, we do have an advisory board that consists of a team of local and international leaders in the community. While we do value their input with plans and ideas, we ultimately make our own decisions."
She added that, "In the future, we would like them to have more involvement and allow them to vote. This would be a great addition and improvement."
"I look forward to moving forward on a positive note and to see Rebecca Rath continue to shine as Miss Belize Universe 2016 (as she was never dethroned) and to see Marcia put us back on the map in Japan this November," Enriquez told us.
Enriquez claims, though, that, "…in the near future, Mr. Elrington and I will get together and discuss a way forward."
"We are also looking forward to having all parties of the company resolve this situation amicably and without further damage," the release said.

Firstborn males over the age of Bar Mitzvah (13) are obligated to fast on the 14th of Nissan, in recognition of the fact that during the "Plague of the Firstborn" (which occurred at midnight of Nissan 15) G-d "passed over" the Jewish firstborn when He killed all firstborn Egyptians. If there is a firstborn male in the family under 13, the obligation to fast rests with the father. The prevailing custom, however, is for the firstborn to exempt themselves from the obligation to fast by participating in a seudat mitzvah (a meal marking the fulfillment of a mitzvah), such as a siyyum--a festive meal celebrating the conclusion of the study of a section of Torah).
The Torah (Exodus 12:15, as per Talmud, Pesachim 5a) sets midday of Nissan 14--today--as the deadline for the destruction and/or removal of all leavened foods ("chametz") from our possession in preparation for the festival of Passover, which begins this evening at nightfall. In practice, Torah law mandates that we desist from eating chametz two hours before midday, and that no leaven remain in our possession an hour before midday. These are not clock hours but "proportional hours", defined by Jewish law as a 12th part of the time between sunrise and sunset.
Click here for the chametz eating deadline for your location.
From this point until the end of the festival of Passover, it is forbidden to eat leaven, or anything containing even the slightest trace of leaven.
Chametz is disposed of by: a) selling it to a non-Jew; b) burning the chametz found in our search on the previous evening (see entry for Nissan 13); c) "nullifying" the chametz that has not been found by declaring it ownerless.
The deadline for selling, burning and nullifying chametz is one "proportional hour" before midday.Click here for the precise time for your location. From this point until the end of the festival of Passover, it is forbidden to eat leaven, derive benefit from it in any way, own it or have it in one's possession.
See the Getting-Rid-of-Chametz Wizard for more detailed instructions.
When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, the Passover offering was brought there on the afternoon of Nissan 14. Today it is commemorated by our recitation of the "Order of the Passover Offering" this afternoon, by the "shankbone" placed on the seder plate this evening, and the afikoman -- a portion of matzah eaten in its stead at the end of the seder meal.
The 8-day festival of Passover--also called "The Festival of Matzahs" and "The Time of Our Freedom"--begins tonight at nightfall.
In the evening, we conduct a seder ("order") -- a 15-part ritualistic feast that encompasses the observances of the Passover festival: telling our children the story of the Exodus as described and expounded in the Haggadah; eating the matzah (unleavened bread), the bitter herbs dipped in charoset, and the afikoman (an additional portion of matzah eaten as "dessert" in commemoration of the Passover offering); drinking the four cups of wine; and numerous other symbolic foods and rituals commemorating both our slavery in Egypt and our liberation on this night.

Q: FTP through HAProxy I have a machine, which is the Host and has HAProxy installed in it and working. Then I have a Guest KVM virtual machine running inside the Host with an IP 192.168.122.152. I installed an FTP server in the Guest machine with VSFTPD.
From the Host, if I try the command $ ftp -p 192.168.122.152, works perfectly and I can connect to the Guest FTP. I need to remark that this FTP is configured as passive, but both passive and active connections are working from the Host.
This is an extract of part of /etc/vsftpd.conf in the Guest:
# Passive mode
connect_from_port_20=NO
tcp_wrappers=YES
listen_address=192.168.122.152
pasv_enable=YES
pasv_promiscuous=NO
port_enable=YES
port_promiscuous=NO
pasv_max_port=10000
pasv_min_port=10250

Now it's time to make it accessible from outside, so I configure /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg like this:
listen FTP_Default *:21
  server ftp01 192.168.122.152 check port 21 inter 10s rise 1 fall 2

listen FTP_Range *:10000-10250
  server ftp01 192.168.122.152 check port 21 inter 10s rise 1 fall 2

But if I try to connect from other machine in internet $ ftp -p $PUBLICIP, it only responds: Connected to <PUBLICIP>, but it doesn't ask for the login and password.
Something in the HAProxy config must be wrong, because it's the only point where it fails. By the way, I tried to adapt my configuration to this one in this blog.
Thanks.

A: I found out the solution. It seems I had to use a directive pasv_address with the IP of the system. I will post again the settings I've used to make it work.
Supposing our public IP is 217.130.100.62, here we have an extract of /etc/vsftpd.conf in the Guest:
# Passive mode
tcp_wrappers=YES
pasv_address=217.130.100.62
pasv_enable=YES
pasv_promiscuous=NO
port_enable=YES
port_promiscuous=NO
pasv_min_port=10000
pasv_max_port=10250

And here, a simplified directive in /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg in the Host:
listen FTP :21,:10000-10250
    mode tcp
    server ftp01 192.168.122.152 check port 21

A: The simplified directive in your haproxy config will result that all ports (21, 10000-10250) will always be redirected to port 21.
This will give you the following error:
"425 Can't open data connection for transfer of..."
To fix this, if you do not define a port, the port where the request is received on will be redirected to the backend.
listen ftp-host01
   bind *:21
   bind *:10000-10099
    mode tcp
    server ftp-host01 192.168.1.1 check


PAINTINGS uncommon blend of different genres and their elements.
PAINTING does not necessarily include fine start. In this sense, the features and capabilities PAINTING realistic and "pointless" - from the decorative and ornamental to the abstract constructions are extremely diverse. Therefore, we can determine the type of painting as a visual (visually perceived), static (not changing over time), spatial art, not having (as opposed to architecture and applied arts), the direct practical application.
PAINTING differs from the sculpture with its planar (not volume) character, but on the charts - that the primary role played by color in the painting. In this case the formal differences between painting from sculpture and graphics is not absolute, since PAINTING takes a certain amount of due invoice, pasty layer and colorful collage technique: it can be monochromatic, monochrome, and may be closely related to the structure or object, often perform a variety of (albeit in itself is not utilitarian) functions as religious (in different religious systems) and the secular.
The main types of PAINTING - easel and monumental - are associated with the material, the basis (carrier plane), which is applied to the paintings. In easel painting (oils) such basis is quite strong and dense material (canvas stretched on a frame, a wooden board, a sheet of cardboard, metal, etc., are usually coated with a special primer), which allows to freely move the work: hanging on the walls, on the exhibit exhibitions, build museums and private collections. As a rule, works of easel painting designed to display and perception in interiors. An important attribute of the picture is the frame, giving the picturesque image of perfection and allows the perception of pictorial illusion clearly limit the space of real-world pictures - interior space. "Bearer" of monumental painting is fixed architecture framework (wall, arch, pillar of the building) or a special design. The monumental painting can be designed for interiors, facades, public urban space, the external environment. Linked to this is the need of choice for monumental painting stronger (than easel painting) and the development of materials technology, eliminating the burn-in light, blurring of precipitation and other changes in the environment PAINTING (stone, ceramic, or smalt mosaic, stained-glass window of stained glass, fresco and other kinds of painting). The product of monumental painting can not be separated from its base (wall bearing structure) is an important task of the artist is to achieve synthesis of the arts - a harmonious unity, logical connection, the unity of style and imagery of monumental painting and architecture. PAINTING basis may be subject, in this case, as a rule, it dominates a decorative top. Special types of PAINTING - iconography, miniature. Decoration painting (Decoration setting for movies and theater), the diorama and the panorama.
PAINTING has a wide range of expressive means, among which the most important - composition, drawing and color (color). Paintings can be used as the shades of one color tone, and a system of interrelated colors (colorful gamma), immutable local color or shades of color (halftones, transitions, colors), showing differences in the coverage of items in their position in space and the environment; reflections reveal the interaction differently colored objects, the unity of beautiful colors makes it possible to combine objects with the environment, Valerie shows subtle shades arising from the interaction of objects and environments. In the direct study of nature is based reproduction of natural sunlight and air (open air). Expressive PAINTING achieved and the nature of the stroke, treatment with colorful surface (texture). Building volume and space in painting is associated with linear and aerial perspective, the cut-off and volume, using the constructive qualities of drawing and spatial properties of warm and cool colors. Paintings can be a single-layer (alla prima), and multi-layered, having transparent or translucent layers underpainting and glazes.
The main types of technical PAINTING: oil painting (paint on vegetable oil as a binder), tempera (paint natural and artificial emulsions), glue painting, wax painting (including encaustic), painting with water colors on wet plaster (fresco) and dry (and Secco), enamel, ceramic painting, silicate, synthetic paints, mosaics, stained glass, watercolor, gouache, pastel, ink used for execution of a painting and graphic works.
By tradition, the main tools are the brush PAINTING varying width and softness, but are also used palette knife and a special device for spraying liquid paint (airbrush) and for transferring images onto canvas photochemically.
PAINTING, like any art form, has an emotional impact on viewers to form their spiritual culture and worldview.

This includes fully capitalising on major strategic investment opportunities through the Belfast Region City Deal, the area's bid for a Heathrow Logistics Hub, discussions to locate a £60m Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre in Ballymena.
The Task Force is in the process of rejuvenating the local sector, which has been dealt a number of high-profile economic shocks, including the closures of Michelin and JTI Gallaher in Ballymena, and most recently, the entering into administration of Wrightbus.
Acting chair of the Task Force, Anne Donaghy, said the role of the body was more vital than ever in delivering on a series of ambitious plans to revitalise and revolutionise the manufacturing industry in Mid and East Antrim. We are using the expertise and skills of more than 50 representatives from manufacturing companies, industry bodies and the public sector to help map the sector's path to renewed success. It is crucial we maintain our momentum."

Mission: Asbury UMC in Atlantic City has embarked on innovative ways to enact social reform within the city by the sea. The church has become a Cisco Networking Academy, a work-study site for Stockton University, a partner site for the University's Office of Community Engagement, and a site where the hungry and homeless are fed weekly through partnerships with several organizations in the region, including other United Methodist congregations.
Rev. William M. Williams III, Asbury's Senior Pastor, serves as a core team leader within the state chapter of Black Lives Matter – New Jersey: Atlantic City. As a result of this leadership, and in partnership with the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the South Jersey Shore, and various professors at Stockton University, the church hosted a 12-month educational teach-in series where principles of the Black Lives Matter movement were discussed. Topics varied from the sociology of racism in partnership with Sociology and Anthropology of Stockton University to fair housing and gentrification in partnership with the Fair Share Housing Center and the Department of Housing Preservation and Community Development of South Jersey Legal Services.
The church hosted a domestic and sexual violence panel with Atlantic City's Chief of Police, Councilman of the Third Ward of Atlantic City, Vineland Public High School Assistant Principal, community activists, and the Women's Center of Atlantic County. As a result of this series, the City Council passed Resolution 217, which designated the month of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month in the city of Atlantic City and made noteworthy steps to ensure educational, religious, and government institutions were equipped to help stop this type of violence in the community.
The year-long educational teach-in series inspired social change in partnerships with the South Jersey Poets Society and community visual artists and poets. The church hosted a Civil Disobedience Workshop in partnership with the National Action Network and the Atlantic City Police Department. The Atlantic County's Advisory Commission on Women, Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies of Stockton University and the University's School of Social and Behavioral Sciences also partnered with the church to contribute to the education teach-in sessions. From partnering with the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the South Jersey Shore to discuss the notion of dismantling white privilege, to teaching about African Americans and the Media in partnership with the Communications Department of Stockton University and community visual artists, Asbury UMC continues to leave its mark on Atlantic City as a powerhouse of influence, change and hope.
